UE5: Building Structures - #1 Manual Modelling

[@unrealitybites763]

IMPORTANT INFO - When creating a new asset using the Cube Grid tool, make sure to select the viewport and press ESC, otherwise you will be adding to the existing selection (and you may get errors)

[@steve_rico]

Extremely useful, well paced and relevant detail. Thank you

[@elganzandere]

I've been working on converting some GeoScript tools into Spines. This series is precisely what I've been looking for. Please hurry!

[@veith3dclub]

Man!!! your channel has many gems!!! Thank you for your time and energy -- have learned so much

[@retromancer8262]

Thanks for this series. This is very helpful for someone just getting started with UE5.

[@sanketnidavani115]

This is one of the best tutorials for creating quick prototype using modeling mode.. Thank you so much for your time and effort. Lots of love from India!

[@jairo5686]

Thank you so much! This was so well explained :)

[@springcar]

Awesome explaining and lifesaving tips. Great find your chamnell. Hey i wish we could save at runtime created structure or object to like fbx file or so

[@BrianSmithgrumpygit]

Thank you finaly someone who covers everything.

[@areokh350]

Exactly what i was looking for! Keep them coming!

[@argus-ek5xn]

Just what the doctor ordered. Much appreciated.

[@drumandbassob0007]

not watched this vid yet but followed the last snow level series and that was great, so looking forward to this series especially the procedural stuff thats coming its something i am trying to learn

[@dale65981]

Amazing tutorials! Thanks for providing these for free.

[@PetrJericho]

Thanks for the great tutorial! Very useful information for a level designer⚒

[@Ionut-l7c]

this lessons is well enough praised to add mine

[@nusamedia]

Super useful tutorial.. Really appreciate this.. TQ sir

[@davidecantalupi3000]

Thank you so much, amazing tutorial 👍😁

[@Wabb27]

Can't wait for this tutorial series!

[@natachalada]

Thank you! Can’t wait to try this 😊

[@TPDene]

Why did you copy the floor 3x times to have 4 of them? Is it not smarter to just change the dimensions of the floor to 20x20?

[@raistlincan]

thank you! learned so much

[@Ares9323]

I really wish they add a search box in the modelling tools panel 🤯

[@unrealitybites763]

Yes I know what you mean. There are a lot of tools to wade through to find what you need

[@ВладимирЛящук]

I met a problem with making doors, hitting CTRL and dragging works only in one direction to pull geometry, but if I want to push it only the grid moves backward and nothing happens with a wall Would be grateful to anyone for a solution and thanks a lot to the author for the video!

[@gabrielmacarron]

Same problem here

[@gabrielmacarron]

Solved. In my case the exterior walls have to be selected before the extrude of the oom walls, and I guess it wasn't.

[@NikolajProtasevich]

Thank you very much. Great tutorial! I subscribed to you and will be watching from now on)

[@grit-mike]

So you are defo in my top 5 "teachers" of Unreal together with the likes of @3dJC I promise that's great company! /Michael at Intercut AI

[@kasenglui5879]

very helpful tutorial🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@franklingamedev]

Amazing! Thanks.

[@Evangelos_Bl]

Thank you!

[@HelenLateral]

Great! Thank you!

[@ModelWhatYouSee]

Do you happen to know any tutorials for doing spline roads? Your roads look like they are a spline, but I can't figure it out. Thanks!

[@htcemployee]

this video was so good

[@An0therR0gue]

the creating new grid mesh with the "CubeGr" was a little buggy for me. it did not say "creating new asset" in red like yours did. it said something like "edit existing asset". it may have been hitting Esc, then selecting the "CubeGr" that fixed it. (you do actually mention this later in the video around 11:16, for those that get stuck, but don't carry on watching until you mention it)

[@unrealitybites763]

That's a good point, it's an annoyance that caught me out a few times as well. I will pin a warning comment at the top of this section

[@archcast5550]

Sir Thank you so much! Subscribing!

[@Patryk_Jaron]

Hello. Great tutorial :) But I have one problem. When I move a mesh created with Grid Tool and want to use it again, the grid is not aligning to the mesh properly. Basically it extends outside the mesh border or not reach the border or not even align with the surface (It will create new cubes below or above the mesh). Any way to fix this? If I for example make a simple building with a Grid Tool and move it somewhere else on the map, I wont be able to add new elements with the tool with the same precise position as before (before moving it).

[@MsRyzu]

I can't find "Modeling" in UE5 03:07

[@unrealitybites763]

Should be there by default but check in the PlugIns that modeling tools are switched on

[@smitteree]

Love your video's, better that most paid courses out there. So, I had to rotate the roof tiles material in order to get them looking correct. (I used a different roof material) But when I added the newly smaller protruded angled part and add it to the "original" angled roof with the material edit, the newly protruded part is rotated to the original material rotation. So the protruded part is now horizontal, while the "original" roof is vertical. When I go to the roof material that I used, to rotate again, the top part and protruded part both rotate in the same directions, always having a 90 degree difference. How do we fix that? Cheers *edit Found out that if I portrude, then select the top faces, and THEN angle the protruded part, the rotation stays correct.

[@unrealitybites763]

Yes, I discovered the same thing which is why I reselected the faces in my video. In an upcoming tunnel video, I will show how you how to fix material rotation using the modelling UV tools.

[@smitteree]

@@unrealitybites763 Ah.. must have missed that you selected the top face as well XD Oh well, after trouble shooting myself for a little while, at least now I will never forget. I see pillars and doorways/windows in the walls, are we also going to be able to select a different static mesh in the details panel, in stead of having to change it in the blueprint. Would be nice to have 1 blueprint and be able to drag and drop a different mesh to use immediately. I mean, sure I can duplicate the BP and put a different mesh in it, but to avoid having more BP's for different walls would become quite a hassle after you have 20+ different walls or god forbid, 100+ I know you said 3 video's, but I think I speak for most viewers when I say, I would love this one to go deeper, to where it gets more customizable like the one you reviewed. Cheers

[@smitteree]

@@unrealitybites763 Found out how to choose a custom static mesh through the details panel.. and how to set collision, you probably know how to do it yourself, but if you want my BP just let me know

[@jimandre459]

can this Building Series be used to add these functionalities into a game? e.g. player in game can drag to extend walls and curve them.

[@Historymotion]

love your tutorio

[@pedronogueira21]

thanks!

[@Novatoman9429]

Top!

[@peter486]

final content thats like a box with another box ontop of a box lol

[@saadkhan3819]

For stairs, i generated one but then a new one appears. How do I only edit one?

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

The Cuba’s National Art Schools would be a neat project to build using this if one was clever enough, sorry YT deletes my links

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

Shame Epic didn't add a walk to their default characters. Always running is not allways great indoors.

[@unrealitybites763]

This is easily changed. Open up the BP_ThirdPersonCharacter and select the character movement component. On the right hand side are various details you can change, including the walk speed. Change it from 500 to 300 and voila, your character will now walk instead of run

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

@@unrealitybites763 Thank you, I use mostly the HumanBase character asset by Quang Phan as a starter which comes with a walk, run and jump animation

[@HiraethGame]

Hello @unrealitybites763 ;) Great works! Can you contact with me please? Thank you in advance!
